Inside Lapa Rios, My Wild Experience: Review & Tour

Показать описание

Welcome to Costa Rica’s wild side, at Lapa Rios Lodge on Costa Rica’s remote Osa Peninsula, part of my best resorts and hotels in Costa Rica series. The lodge is set in a rainforest that meets the ocean, and your neighbours are monkeys, sloths, and toucans. Sounds like a dream, right? In this video, I’ll take you on a full tour and share my experience staying at this super unique resort, and let’s see if the reality lives up to the price tag.

Join me and my friend Maria as we embark on a safari-esque adventure. From a bumpy jeep ride to a thatched-roof lobby that might leave you questioning your investment, we’re diving into every detail. We’ll explore the 17-room lodge, its lone restaurant, and the bar by the pool (because, trust me, you’ll need a drink after dealing with some of the wildlife).
I’ll take you on a room tour with stunning views, though the lack of AC might surprise you. We’ll check out the tiny pool, the jungle spa, and the activities—spoiler alert, they’re mostly walking tours and might not justify the hefty price.
And don’t miss my take on the food: decent, but the restaurant vibe? Not so much. Plus, the bar’s soundtrack might transport you back to your awkward teenage years with its 90s and 2000s pop hits.
Ready to find out if Lapa Rios is worth the splurge? Buckle up and hit play!

Why should you trust us?

Our goal is to save you time by finding the best hotels and experiences for you, and eliminate the stress of paying for something before you understand if it’s right for you. We work with total editorial independence. That means nothing appears in our videos as a recommendation unless we’ve tried it and loved it. These are the hotels and activities we choose for ourselves and recommend to our family and friends.

We strive to be the most trusted, the most transparent, boutique hotel recommendation service…. ever. If you choose to use our link to book a hotel, you are supporting our work. You can go around us – it won’t save you any money. This hotel commission fee supports us as we travel the world looking for the best places. Running a business costs money, and this is how we cover most of our expenses.

We curate unusual, independent, and sustainable boutique hotel experiences. We’re a small team of 3.5 people – for now. Our founder Don is an American who’s lived about half his life overseas and has traveled to over 60 countries – always looking for that perfect hotel, and often being disappointed. Before starting Swank, Don worked as an entrepreneur in the clean energy space, and then sustainable housing – one of the reasons sustainability is in our DNA.
